Abstract
Today one can state that our civilization faced the whole complex of global problems: problem of a preservation of peace on Earth, ecology, a food problem, overpopulation, overcoming of poverty of a majority of mankind, a problem of health and quality of life. The greatest popularity in their resolving is won by technological approaches: bio-nano-infokogno. We become eyewitnesses or direct participants of the breakthrough scientific achievements that allow changing the fundamental bases of life – at the level of a live and artificial matter, and even their synthesis. In this article we study a possible danger of unreasoned application of modern NBIK (nano-bio-info-kogno) of technologies to live systems (human being and nature) and suggest positive experience of bioethics as humanitarian expertise.
Highlights
Many scientists connect the sixth wave of technological development with development of convergent technologies
To comprehend need of humanitarian examination from the side of bioethics, it is necessary to analyze conceptual approaches and the points of view to those technological hazards, which arise in various scopes of applying of NBIK-technologies
The bioethics has to develop as theoretical discipline and as a number of applied directions
Summary
Many scientists connect the sixth wave of technological development with development of convergent technologies. The question was never raised in this way - as possible change of the fundamental bases of the nature and the human being From this point of view, the thing is not in ethical principles used during genetic researches or creation of GMOs products, it isn’t “god-like” or getting the unlimited “bio-power” - all the matter is that we have “opened a window” to absolutely new look of “material viability” [3]. As a result it is necessary to develop social regulators in the form of ethical rules and the regulations which can somehow block negative consequences and risks of implementing NBIK-technologies It seems that the bioethics as the scientific concept and practice can be one of the main tools here
